25 Best Barbeque Restaurants in Wichita

“Not only is this most incredible food in barbecue you can get but the people that work there are such a treasure! Honestly, I don’t know what I enjoy more the customer service/employees or the food! Very, very happy to have such a stellar restaurant in our community. Absolutely, the best pulled pork, burnt ends, and brisket you could find. Their baked beans are sweet and have lots of meat in them. The macaroni and cheese comes from a local chef who makes the pasta from scratch! 😭🙌🩷 It literally doesn’t get any better than this. Enjoy!“

“Best bbq in town! Walked out with enough for the next few days!“

“Excellent service, the staff was very friendly, and the food was delicious. My sandwich was huge—I’ve already eaten half of it—and my husband ordered a rack of ribs that he absolutely loved; the meat fell right off the bone like butter.“

“Richard Saunders, as a 8 year usmc combat vet, no one cares about your political views on people being maga or not..... no one cares if you are indoctrinated into left wing beliefs Keep this about food“

“Everything is sooo good. Try the kettle corn🥰“

“They have beef ribs! Overall it's pretty great barbeque, especially for Wichita! Reasonably priced and great service. You can tell the owner puts in some hard work smoking the meat. Also the cheesy potatoes are phenomenal. I can't wait to go back and try some of the other sides and meats. Will be recommending it to all my friends!“

“We ate at Barrel Boys today for lunch. Honestly, I am really really picky with meat and I’m telling you this was the best BBQ we have ever had anywhere, including KC barbecue! I had brisket and my hubby had ribs, we both shared with each other. For sides I had the brisket baked beans and creamy corn, both delicious! The brisket was so lean and tender and so were the ribs. Great addition to Wichita and we can’t wait to go back! When the weather cools off, the outdoor dining will be great!“

“The best service and prime rib I’ve ever had in my life. Chef definitely knows what he’s doing and the atmosphere was very relaxing. 10/10 will be coming back.“

“We love it. Great food and good service.“

“The food was pretty standard Midwest bbq, but the service here was fantastic. One of the friendliest places I can remember eating at. It's actually why I'm even bothering to write this review, seriously great people here. It's also extremely affordable! We have a family of three, and got out of there for under $40 including the tip!“

“I really like Hog Wild. Their bbq is some of the best I’ve had. I am a truck driver so I’ve been to many other location in the US. If I could just suggest one little change. I’d say that if a customer orders the 3 meat dinner and orders the chicken, pulled pork, and brisket. PLEASE wrap each meat separately instead of putting it all in the same wrapper. The customer could be ordering it to split between 3 people. And I know people will say to just request to have it wrapped separately. But I have done that in the past and it doesn’t get done. It honestly should just be common practice to keep them separate. Especially when the pulled pork and the brisket look so similar.“

“Food was very good, service very friendly and will be going back.“

“Thank you Matt and the Hog Wild team for helping me out of a bind - our catering order was canceled without notifying me, Hog Wild was able to get me an order for 25 people in about 15 minutes. We had plenty of food and it went over great with the group. Thank you again, I really appreciate how quick your turn around was!“

“Ribs were money Pulled pork was a decent sandwich, had better Hot links were hot links… love em!! Ordered sliced brisket and got chopped.. threw it on the Texas Toast and it was fire!! Also tried the Baked Beans, Potato Salad and Mac… all 3 were pretty dang good. The only complaint I have is the Sweet Tea!! Tasted like they use Sweet and Low…awful“

“The nicest staff of any restaurant in town! The managers brings a smile on every customers face!!! The food is great too! I can’t say enough good things about this staff!“

“Some of the best BBQ in town. Had ribs tonight that not only fell off the bone, but ran from the bone. These ribs were so full of flavor that I felt bad for everyone around me that weren’t eating them. This comfort food is so comfortable that it should be in sweatpants and an oversized t-shirt. If you haven’t checked out Fat Boyz, you’re missing out like your friend that hasn’t watched Black Mirror yet.“

“Our agency M&M Insurance Associates had a great experience with Hog Wild today. The food was delicious, portions were generous, everything was ready on time, and the staff was helpful throughout the process. We’d recommend Hog Wild for reliable catering.“

“I can't remember it was either June or it was. May I know it was one of those months that was our waitress's name. Not when we ate there and she was awesome, very knowledgeable, very friendly, checked on us regularly to make sure we were taken care of and the service was very awesome would recommend this place highly some good sandwiches too as well. The atmosphere is always a little crazy. But what would you expect for the downtown area?“

“Awesome service. Great food!!“

“6:00 on a Sunday evening and hungry for BBQ on the west side of town. Rib Crib for the win. Ribs were delicious and the smoked chicken salad was great, especially since I added pulled pork.

Wife had the catfish which she loved. Our server was great and the food came out quickly.

The only downside was the restaurant could have been cleaner as the floors needed to be vacuumed and some of the tables needed bussed.

I have never had anything but good food here and don’t understand why they aren’t busier.“

“We ate here tonight and had an absolutely PHENOMENAL server-his name was Ty and he was the best server we’ve ever had. I just wanted to put that out there for him to get recognition for a job very well done 😀“

“Chris catered our son’s wedding last weekend and it was fantastic, as it always is! If you want the best BBQ catering in the area Smokehouse ICT is your place- Chris will not disappoint! PS - his brisket is a must have…“

“We ate here for the first time and we’ll definitely be coming back. The food was amazing, but what really made our experience special was our waitress, Cyanna. She was incredibly kind, funny, and patient with us and had us smiling and laughing the entire time. She checked in at just the right times, made sure we had everything we needed, and truly made us feel welcome.
It’s rare to have service that makes the whole experience this enjoyable. Cyanna is exactly the kind of employee that keeps customers coming back. She’s a big reason we’ll be coming back and requesting her every time. She truly deserves recognition for the incredible service she provides. Thank you for such a great first experience!“

“Lunch boxes are large. Korean ramen very yummy, be careful with the spicy level, Korean spice is a whole nother level of face melting numbness. The DIY BBQ is a massive event be careful ordering all that food. Rice bowels are a delight especially the stone bowls option. I have to eaten here at least 20 times.“

“It had been years since I have been to Longhorn and I feel really sad about not going back sooner because from the service to the food and the prices for the value you get are outstanding! One of the many steaks our group ordered was overcooked and they made it right… ASAP!! and the waitress said keep the overdone steak and have it with eggs in the morning. That is the way this restaurant does business. The manager came back to make sure the replacement steak was as expected and it was indeed perfect. Thank you, Longhorn! Yeeeeehawwwwww!!“
